Charles H. Lochmüller

Research Interests

Professor Lochmüller was an analytical chemist
whose research emphasis of three decades
had been in the area of chemical separations.
The search for fundamental understanding of
separation mechanisms in his group has
included studies of the organization and
dynamics of chemically bound molecules at
silica surfaces by photophysical methods,
spectroscopy in supercritical fluids and
applications of chemometric modeling. New
technologies that have sprung from his
research include magnetically stabilized,
fluidized-bed enzyme reactor and new forms
of iso-electric focusing electrophoresis
patents. Most recent work had been in a new
approach to efficient ion-exchange separation
and purification of oligonucleitides.
